Why Elon Musk Slept Under His Desk

Elon Musk said he slept under his desk during Tesla’s Model 3 “production hell” so factory workers could physically see that he was there with them during the company’s most stressful manufacturing ramp. According to the article, Musk said he lived in Tesla’s Fremont and Nevada factories for three years and at one point slept on the factory floor, saying he would wake up smelling like metal dust. He said workers seeing him during shift changes “made a huge difference.” Musk also contrasted Tesla’s culture with traditional corporate hierarchy, saying there are “no lords and peasants at Tesla” and that everyone eats at the same table and parks in the same parking lot. He claimed GM had a special elevator for senior executives, though the article notes GM phased out the special elevator in the early 1990s and has since moved its headquarters to a more open space in Detroit. The article also notes Musk’s comments that Tesla gives stock options broadly, including to factory workers, and that some line workers became millionaires as Tesla shares rose.
